Editing Other Flows for the Transaction 

Use

Using this tab page, you can enter the other flows for the main flow (= purchase or sale flow) of a transaction manually and edit the other transaction flows that were generated automatically.

Examples of flows that are generated automatically for a transaction are accrued interest flows when a bond is purchased and/or flows generated by a derivation procedure.

The tab pages is divided into three areas:

a) Main flow

At the top of the tab page you can see the purchase or sale flow type (main flow) and the related payment data.

b) Net payment amount

The field below displays the net payment amount of the transaction.

This is the sum of the payment amounts for all the flows (in the currency of the main flow) for this transaction.

Prerequisite

In order to include a flow in the net payment amount calculation for a transaction, you must have set the Net payment amount indicator when you defined the transaction flow types in Customizing for the securities area.

Example 1

Purchase of 100,000 EUR nominal of a fixed-interest security at 95%. Interest of 1,000 EUR is accrued and a commission of 142.50 EUR is charged.

This generates the following flows:

FTyp Name Pmnt amnt Curr.

0100 Purchase 95,000.00 EUR

0870 Accrued int. 1,7000.00 EUR

0302 Commission 142.50 EUR

The net payment amount comes to 96,142.50 EUR.

Example 2

Sale of 100,000 USD nominal of a fixed-interest security at 98.5%. The seller is entitled to accrued interest of 1,400 USD on which taxes of 420 USD are to be paid, and a commission of 142.50 EUR is charged.

This generates the following flows:

FTyp Name Pmnt amnt Curr.

0200 Sale 98,500.00 USD

0870 Accrued int. 1,400.00 USD

0306 Int. income tax 420.00 USD

0302 Commission 142.50 EUR

The net payment amount comes to 99,480.00 USD.

c) Other flows

The lower part of the screen contains a table for creating, editing, and displaying other flows.

The table tells you the flow type, direction, amount, currency and the posting status of the other flows.

Prerequisites

You can only create flows here that were assigned to the transaction type in Customizing activity Assign Flow Types to Transaction Type, and which have flow category 90 (Other flows/condition) or 23 (Accrued interest).

Procedure

Creating other flows:

  1. Using the F4 Help for the FTyp field, choose the flow type you require (e.g. commission not capitalized).
  2. Enter the direction of the payment by indicating whether it is an incoming payment (+) or an outgoing payment (-).
  3. Enter the amount of the flow and the currency in which the payment amount is due.

 If none of the lines in the table are ready for input when you create a new flow, generate a new line by choosing .

Changing other flows that already exist

In the details screen for the accrued interest, you can see the calculation basis and can correct the payment amount, if necessary.
